2007 chevrolet malibu. consumer states problems with gas gauge *tgw the consumer stated when she re-fueled the vehicle, the gas gauge reached approximately 3/4 full, the fuel gauge needle dropped to empty and the check engine light illuminated. the gas gauge continued to read empty and the engine light stayed on until three to four gallons of gas was used. the gauge would then begin to read the correct amount of gas in the tank and would continue to do so until the tank was filled again. the check engine light would remain on for several days until gas was put in the tank above 3/4 full. the consumer believed the fuel gauge lever sensor was poorly designed. *jb updated 06/19/12 *jb
I drive a 2007 malibu and the check engine light keeps coming on and the fuel gauge will drop to empty even though i know gas is in the car. then it will slowly climb back up and then drop again. *tr
Fuel gauge and indicator light reflected that the gas level was empty. the engine light came on and remain on. *tr
I purchased a used 2007 chevrolet malibu in 11/2009. a few months of me owning it, the fuel gauge started acting up. it would register that there was fuel in the tank and then it would state i was on empty even though i know i had fuel in it. it has now stopped working all together. i took it to a mechanic and was told that is a dealer item to replace it and the cost would be rather expensive. i am a single father raising a 2 year old child and i can not afford the hundreds of dollars it would take to replace this dealer item. i am relying on mileage to determine when to refuel at this point in time. i do not believe this is the best method however i am doing the best that i can. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet malibu. the fuel gauge inaccurately displays the amount of fuel present in the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent on three separate occasions for the identical failures. the technician stated that he would have to drop the fuel tank to determine the cause of the failure. no repairs were made. the failure mileage was 59,000. the current mileage was 84,000. the vehicle identification number was unavailable.
I own a 2007 chevy malibu 2lt which have been having problems with the fuel sensor since i bought it. have taken into dealership but nothing can be found wrong. replaced fuel cap to see if that was problem but nothing changed. fuel light stays on empty even with full tank of gas plus check engine light stays on. the only time it works is when i travel very long distances otherwise nothing. i am very disappointed with the way chevy does their customers. i have done research on this and it seems to be an ongoing problem with their fuel system. i definitely think a recall should be done on this issue. now i am starting to smell gas fumes in my car. i will never buy a chevy auto again! *ln
